Abstract
Agriculture is of strategic importance in Türkiye as in the whole world. Besides its strategic importance, agriculture involves risks and uncertainties due to its dependence on natural conditions. In this respect, the adequacy and sustainability of wheat, which constitutes the basic food raw material of humanity, has gained great importance for countries in recent years. Due to this feature of wheat, pricing and support of wheat is an important issue. In this study, wheat and support prices were analysed and evaluated in terms of current prices, real prices and dollar. It is seen that wheat prices have shown a significant increase in current prices but not in real and dollar prices. In terms of agricultural supports, it is seen that the support amounts of wheat, which has a share in area and premium-based supports, remained constant between 2001 and 2024 with 18.95 TL/da in real terms. In 2022-2023, it is seen that there has been a significant increase of 1000% in wheat premium support from 10krş/kg to 1 TL/kg. This study aims to contribute to the literature and stakeholders with panel data analysis of wheat agriculture, which is of great importance for our country, in terms of unit price and subsidies.
